- THE EVENING STORY One of World-Famous The Deaf Satyr. BY RUBEN DARIO. (Reuben Dario, 1867-1916, was a ish-American writer, a native of jcaragua. He is the author of “Azul," a collection of stori e has also writ- ten poetry and sev books of travel. The story printed here is translated into English by Dr. Isaaé Goldberg; it 1s used here by permission of the trans- lator.) There dwelt near Mount Olympus a gatyr and he was the ancient king of his forest. The gods had said to him: “Rejoice, the woods are yours; be a merry rascal, hunt the nymphs and let your flute be heard.” And the satyr took his pleasure. On a day that Father Apollo was m:ymg his divine lyre, the satyr left dominions, daring to ascend the sacred mount and surprise the long- haired god. Whereupon the god punish- ed turning him as deaf as a rock. In from the denseness of the for- est filled with birds poured trills and sounded gentle cooing. The satyr heard nothing. Philomel, over his tangled hair that was crowned with shoots, sang songs that halted the streams in their course and turned the pale roses a blushing red. He remained impassive or howled with savage laughter, leaping in joyous wantonness when, through the ‘openings of the branches he espied a white round hip that the sun was caressing with its golden light. The ani- mals fawned upon him as a master to be obeyed. Before his eyes, to divert him, danced choruses of ~bacchantes aflame with their mad fever; close by him, providing the musical accompaniment, were the adolescent fauns, beautiful youths, who caressed him fervently with their smiles and though he heard no voice, nor the sound of castanets, he found pleasure after his own fashion. Thus did this helré'lpd king with the goatish feet pass ays. . He was a capricious satyr. He had two court counselors, a lark and an ass. The first had lost her prestige when the satyr went deaf. Formerly, when, weary with lust, he softly played his flute, the lark accompanied him. After- ward, in his great forest, where he could not hear even the voice of Olym- mn thunder, the patient animal of the g ears served him as mount, while the lark, at break of dawn, flew out of E hands, singing on her flight to the es. The forest was vast. To the lark be- longed the treetops, to the ass the pas- . The lark was greeted by the first she drank dew in the kiss from the sun the morning star. And the blue firma- ment so vast knew that she, so tiny, dwelt beneath the immensity. The ass (though he had not yet conversed witie Kant) was an expert in philosophy, ac- to common report. The satyr, in the pasture, his ea: a_solmen air, held such a thinker in high esteem. the ass was not so forth, under the vault of the woods, the strange noise in his throat. He was the petted favorite there. As he took his midday nap on the dark and grate- ful earth the plants and flowers gave their sweetest scents. And the gn trees inclined their foliage to d him shade. It was in those days that Orpheus, affrighted at the misery of mankind, bethought himself to flee to the woods, where the trunks and the stones would and in_ecstasy ent. heus plucked his lyre there 1 on the countenance of Apollo. emeter thrilled with mmmfimkxn len, the seeds t, the lions gently moved their manes.

He sang the intimacies of the air and earth, the great mother, Thus he expounded the melody of an Aeolian harp, the murmurings of a grove, th hoarse whisper of & chell and the har-| monious notes that issue from the | syinx. He sang of verse which flies down from the sky and pleases the gods, of verse which accompanies the barbi- ton in the ode and beats time in the paean. He sang the breasts of tepid snow and the coups of wrought gold and the throat of the bird and the glory of the sun. And from the very beginning of his canticle the light of day shone with brighter gleams. The huge trunks were moved and there were roses that shed their petals and lilies that bent over langorously as in a tender swoon. For Orpheus, with the music of his rhyth- mis lyre, made the lions to moan and the very stones to weep.

Why had the mad, voluptuous dance abruptly ceased before him? What sald his two counselors? Ah, the lark has sung, but the sat; could not hear. At last he turned hyi; gaze toward the ass. Was his opinion Very well, then, before the vast, sonorous forest, underneath the sacred blue, the ass moved his head from one side to the other, austerely, obstinately like a philosopher in thought. Then, with his cloven hoof the satyr struck the ground, wrinkled his brow with displeasure and unheedingly ex- claimed, pointing out to Orpheus the road from the forest: “No.” The echo reached to neighboring Olympus and from the mountain where the gods were at play, resounded a cho- rus of formidable guffaws that were afterward called Homeric. Orpheus strode sadly from the forest of the deaf satyr, Almost ready to h-n! himself upon the first laurel tree tha he_encountered on the road. He did not hang himself, however; he married Eurydice.
